Today I walked into my bedroom and tackled the first pile I came to. It was a pile of books and papers and before I knew it .... I'd gone through it and ended up with one empty milk carton. Whoo Hoo!
Since I have LOTS of paper I need to look at and sort, I'm now putting them in some milk crates (stacked on their side). My current goal is to go through everything quickly and throw away the trash and anything else I can let go of without a lot of deliberation. Sitting down and looking at every single piece of paper is going to be in my "stage 2". I want to make as much progress as I can because that's what keeps me going.
The reason I have so much paper is I've always loved printing out quotes, stories that touched me, scrapbooking ideas, and school information related to my daughters. I feel compelled to look at every single piece before letting it go because of the items that are primarily memorabila.
Today I'm going to focus on my gratitude for the things I can let go easily and deal with the rest as it comes.
I'm off to do my 15 minutes for today,
Karen
and it's getting better. I've decided to admit, after much deliberation and prayers, I'm a hoarder. I'm committing to spend (at least) 15 minutes every day letting go of all the stuff I don't need anymore! Come with me on my journey to clean my house and change my life.
